What Hacker News says?

  1. I ended up using Shortcuts to publish a set of screenshots from an always-on Mac every 10 minutes or so for a set of shared, family AirTags: http://vitor.io/android-airtags I couldn't reliably get iOS to do the same, and my tests of an Android-compatible tag found it was detected much less often than an AirTag riding along with it.

  3. Seeing the Dynamicland tweets made me rethink all of Bret Victor's previous work, and I wrote up why it's interesting from a design perspective here: http://vitor.io/on-dynamicland

  5. I wrote up my initial experiences here: http://vitor.io/razer-blade-stealth-core-gtx-1080-12h Works pretty well, no insurmountable issues. I haven't done any 3D engine-related dev on it yet, but am not expecting issues.

  7. SEEKING WORK: Austin, TX, remote I'm a skilled user experience and interaction designer , with broad experience across many types of companies and applications. I don't do art and I don't do implementation; I do "how it works" and "is this really a good idea" and "here's seven studies for or against." I do strict information architecture, customer and user research, interaction design and user experience design. I w…

  8. SEEKING WORK remote or in Austin, TX I'm Vitorio, a skilled user experience and interaction designer in Austin, TX. I am currently available for research and design engagements, and also for ad-hoc design questions by the hour. If you think your current site and onboarding flow and app design is okay and just want someone to make it prettier, make the logo pop, etc., that's not me. If you want more users to sign up,…

  9. The thing about doing this kind of work is you have one sort of explanation in mind as you do it, and like any software, you work until you're there and then you call it done. They're not designed and built with every possible form of accessibility and exposition in mind. It's entirely likely no-one had previously considered doing a narration. That said, there's also zero advanced tooling to create and edit synced a…

  12. I think the house analogy is a good one. You should buy the domain and use it, that's how they work, just like houses, but you can also be intentional about being clear that there were people there before you. Establishing redirects to archived versions of the URLs is one. I recently sold a previously personal domain to a company that was going to use it for a new product. I added contractual provisions to address s…

  15. My notes on a previous generation version of the machine: http://vitor.io/notes-7-inch-mini-laptop I haven't tried a new OS version since 22.10, I'll have to see if audio and touchscreen support have finally resolved on this one, too.

  16. I don't see any audio controls, or audio download progress, in either Safari, Chrome, or Firefox. Looks like a syntax error, there's some HTML in a Javascript file. Conceptually, since I can't try it, it reminds me a bit of hyperaudio. Have you seen http://hyperaud.io ? I also did a hypertranscript similar to this here: http://vitor.io/uxr101 Click on any word to scrub to it, or click in whitespace to toggle play/pa…

  17. I've written up my experience conducting a design sprint for an internal, enterprise IAM team: http://vitor.io/designer-hangout-product-discovery-design-sp... Our internal pitch for design sprints (using Jeff Patton's Product Discovery model) were basically getting to an informed go/no-go decision on a new feature in a week, and the teams that adopted that did find success in it.

  18. What a great analysis and considered outcome, and love the copious references to related work. It's also nice to see the IA copy built upon; I donated that 1928 edition of Plotto to the Internet Archive in 2012: http://vitor.io/its-a-gift-never-lend-books (also visible in the "sponsor" record in IA metadata).
